The problem:
We worked very hard to produce flawless code but frankly we missed the mark. We did extensive beta testing prior to launch and were unable to discover any issues with the coin. However, after monitoring ROI Coin since launch it has been determined that we had a bit of code that was causing an unintended result and that is that term deposit interest is not holding flat but ever increasing block by block.
The solution:
We have already modified the code and done preliminary testing and everything looks great.
What to expect:
- The new wallet release will still have the original target payout interest amounts for term deposits.
- The POS standard APR will be increased
- Term deposits completed before the fork will pay out at the incorrect increased rates
- Term deposits in process after the fork will adjust to the new corrected rates
- The new wallet will be available prior to the fork and will provide a seamless move to the new code
- No other changes are being implemented at the fork to reduce the possibility of issues
When will the fork happen:
Obviously we are going to do extensive testing on a test-net before release. Currently we anticipate the fork to occur within the next two weeks assuming we don't discover any issues.

EDIT>> Power User Hint:
Term deposit your coins for less than two weeks and capture these increased term deposit rates while you can. Very soon they will go away and never be available again!
Awesome! Thanks for keeping us posted and for sharing that tip!!
Thanks for your hard work
Btw will these affect my already 1 year deposited coins ? and what about this two week term deposit thing ?
Yes your 1 year deposit that is still in process at the fork will not yield the incorrect increased rate but rather will revert to the correct rate...
Unfortunately yes.
